Has anyone given thought to the music at their funeral?

[Ron M.]

I already told the wife and kids what song I wanted to be played when my remains are finally put to rest...without revealing mine right now, has anyone given thought to this? And no, Bang Bang by Cher is not an option...

 

[Wyatt Burp]

"Drop kick me, Jesus, through the goal posts of life" by I think Bobby Bare.

 

[Hillbilly77]

It doesn't matter to me. I won't hear it.

 

[NYlakesider]

Yes my kids and wife know I want the Simon & Garfunkel rendition of "Sounds of Silence" played when the time comes. Decided that over 30 years ago!

 

[Jessie]

I told my wife CCR

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Yes indeed.
I have thought about but have not actually complied songs on a CD or Memory Stick.
It will be a mixture of Gospel, Blues and Country.
Some serious, some that sing like I talk!
Here's a song that I would use.

Nothing I Can Do About It Now-Willie Nelson - YouTube

 

[arjay]

Life of Illusion-Joe Walsh

 

[Kurusu]

My funeral is not my problem.

 

[Old_Cop]

The battle hymn of the republic, the 23rd psalm, and amazing grace.

 

[Rustyt1953]

Ruthie is going to pass out kazoos.

 

[loknload]

Everytime We discuss my final departure and I tell her I wish to be cremated she keeps wanting to call the funeral home to make an appointment?
So we don't ever get past that?

How Great Thou Art


Not me of course.

I told the wife that a lit'l Norman Greenbaum Spirit in the Sky would be ok.

She said, "We'll see."

I guess i could get an ol friend to sing this one......

[THE PILGRIM]

I love Spirit in the Sky!
By the Kentucky Headhunters.

 

[k22fan]

I want the honor guard to fire blanks with my K frame .22s. That's my kind of music. Then, just in case there's a bullseye range in the afterlife, clean and oil them and place them in the casket with all my bricks of .22s.

 

[Salty RI]

Im going from crematorum to the grave, what ever is on the radio is OK with me.[emoji1]

You know..I'm not one of you ( a cowboy that is) but I do understand and appreciate the lifestyle.
If I lived out west it would probably be different.
That video reminded me of the wild ponys along the Appalachian trail in Va.
I thought bears had invaded our camp. Just hungry ponys looking for some hiker fruit for breakfast.
They've been living wild on the mountain tops for over 100 years.
They sure eat early

Nature's Music

I want to be cremated, then, Just throw my ashes out, over the back yard, and let the "Tu*d" birds whistle over 'em.

Chubbo

 

[SteveA]

Assuming I die first, and my wife isn't incarcerated as a result, she is supposed to spread my ashes in the Flint Hills, leaving me with the music of coyotes and cattle. Other than that I really don't care.

 

[keith44spl]

The one's I've posted above will have to take a back seat to this ol song that my dad used to sing to me as a boy.

My wife wanted "Prop Me Up by the Juke Box". Unfortunately I didn't find out until after her funeral, so we played it when we interred her ashes.
